Chancellor’s Scholarships

These scholarships are an admirable way for talented students to start their higher
education experience. The Chancellor's Scholarships are awarded each year to one student
from each Oakland County high school (public, private, charter, or home school - home
schools must be connected with an association), and one student from each qualified
adult/alternative education school. The award is for $3,500 ($1,750 for the fall semester
and $1,750 for the winter semester), is non-renewable, and is good only for the first
academic year following the student's graduation.

the scholarship is forfeited.
